Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 11 in B-flat major, Op. 22, was composed in 1800 and first published two years later. Beethoven regarded it as the best of his early sonatas, though some of its companions in the cycle have been at least as popular with the public. Prominent musicologist Donald Francis Tovey has called this work the crowning achievement and culmination of Beethoven's early "grand" piano sonatas.
